You can use properties files to create or change mail provider
properties.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your mail
provider configuration or its configuration objects.
Start the
wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language,
run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory
of the server profile.
About this task
Using a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete
a mail provider object and its configuration properties.
Run
administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties
file for a mail provider, validate the properties, and apply them
to your configuration.
Table 1. Actions for mail provider properties files. You
can create, modify, and delete mail provider configuration properties.
Action |
Procedure |
create |
Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |
modify |
Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |
delete |
Uncomment #DELETE=true and
run the deleteConfigProperties command. |
Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create a mail provider and its properties.
- Create a properties file for a MailProvider object.
Open an editor and create a mail provider properties file.
You can copy the example properties file in this step into an editor
and modify the properties as needed for your situation. The example
defines a mail provider named myProvider at cell
scope:
#
# Header
#
ResourceType=MailProvider
ImplementingResourceType=MailProvider
ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:MailProvider=myProvider
#DELETE=true
#
#
#Properties
#
classpath={}
name=myProvider
isolatedClassLoader=false #boolean
nativepath={}
description=new mail provider
providerType=null #readonly
EnvironmentVariablesSection
#
#
#Environment Variables
cellName=WASCell06
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to create a mail provider configuration.
Running
the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties
file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter
produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Modify an existing mail provider.
- Obtain a properties file for the mail provider that
you want to change.
You can extract a properties file
for a MailProvider object using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
properties as needed.
Ensure that the environment variables
in the properties file match your system.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to change a mail provider configuration.
- If you no longer need a mail provider, you can delete the
entire mail provider object.
To delete the entire object,
specify DELETE=true in the header section of the
properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command;
for example:
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the mail provider object.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
